Tango on the Quai Saint Bernard in Paris

This is discussed sporadically, since it is regularly discovered by the people who take evening cruises along the Seine.

However, I thought I would revive the topic, since for one thing it is the proper season to see it (or even participate), and for another it is a lovely event where people have fun spontaneously.

So here is my old tango thread again, along with some recent additions: http://tinyurl.com/3cu876j

I want to be there NOW! Instead, I think I'll buy a pair of shoes like that to tide myself over to the next trip.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this report before, K. Thanks for posting it again. Your photos are both fun and dreamy. I'm having withdrawals and it's only been a month. Sigh-h-h.

Are you serious about the expressways being closed permanently? What would take their place?

Nothing would take their place. The era of the unnecessary private vehicle is coming to an end.

The idea sounds great, but … I'll believe it when I see photos of the finished project!

My French isn't good enough to really understand the link to the article, but I loved the fact that there was an ad for a BMW car right at the top!

We're arriving Sept. 11. Will this still be going on?

It continues as long as the weather holds up.

The video really took us there, and those sunset photos across the river---fantastic!

We've seen the dancing so many times, maybe this time we'll join in. Our Sept. trip can't arrive soon enough.
24 days and counting.
